What’s your Lee Enfield Holy Grail?

9 year update. Got the Enforcer, got the L-42A1, one that BDL brought in.
Got the Trials (T) but it was "sportered" into a hunting rifle. So still need a Trails T.
Found a rare rare Long Branch No. 4 Mk 1/2. Neat find. Have a LB No. 4 Mk 1/3.
A No. 9 Mk 1 .22 found a home here, but at the opportunity cost of a 1934 Lithgow
that I had to pass on for lack of funds. Same show, table across from each other! z
A LB No. 7 .22 and BSA No. 8 .22 somehow found there way here. Need the jags and rods for the cased No. 7.
One, then another 1953 Lithgow has found a spot in the room as well. One has a mis-matched bolt, the other is matching.
Also added a No. 1 Mk VI, an L-39, a couple L-59's, and most fortunately was able to find
1 of 73, 1943 trails Long Branch (T). BDL and Captain Laidler did a great job for me on the rehab of the rifle and the scope.
Got a butchered Envoy that needs total restoration. Still looking for a good one of these.
Most recently added a 1941 two digit No. 4 Mk 1 Long Branch. First day of production!!

Wow. I need a fraction of your luck.

I had the chance for a mint Parker Hale T-4 for $700.00 and bought something else because I didn't have enough knowledge. Buy books. Study. Make your luck!!!!

Yeah, I've been doing a bit off that. Since I first joined this forum asking about building a clone T, I have bought, sold, and traded up through a few No4Ts till I got to my holy grail, a Gurkha issued L42A1.

A CES complete Savage L42 for 7k? Jeebus, I hope you scored that before the price quote was out of the guy's mouth!
